Torp
 
I forgot to ask. How far from Torp to Oslo and what is the best/cheapest way to get there? Thanks!

Hi

I'm sure I've missed something here !

Are you talking about Torp near Uddevalla, Sweden ?
If so, the E6 continues to Oslo, but is not a motorway until near Oslo.
It's probably about 230 km.
It used to take me about 3 hrs by car.
You can do it by car, train and probably bus.

triple96:

I suppose you will resch Torp/Sandefjord airport by Ryanair. You might chek Ryanair's website at www.ryanair.com and look for destination information.

Torp/Sandefjord airport also has an own website with transportation info at www.torp.no/index.asp?lang=en

Hope this helps.

Enjoy your trip.

Phil.

Last June I took the train from Sandefjord to Oslo. I'd say it was about a $10USD taxi ride to the train station then almost $20USD to take the 2 hour train ride to Oslo.

Ryan air usually runs a bus that coincides with flight arrivals, but I landed at 11:00pm and decided to stay at a hotel right outside the airport. It was cheaper than staying in Oslo that night.

They were building a new terminal at Torp last summer, I don't know when it's to be finished. There was only 1 ATM at the time and had a line of 10 or so people and growing while I walked past. Glad I had NOKs with me.
